Crisis of Conscience

Is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII awesome because of nostalgia, or awesome because it's just good? Either way, it's plain awesome.

Absolutely stunning in every way. The models are emotive to a level no handheld game has ever been able to accomplish (and may not for years to come), the CG is insanely gorgeous, and the overall presentation is fantastic.
